I am not so happy that they are putting brick sidewalks down on Main Street. I like bricks, don't get me wrong, but the old sidewalks had a pattern of lines that were a big part of my childhood. Once upon a time it took two steps to get across one of the rectangles. Careful not to step on cracks. Now I can do it in one step, but if I don't pay attention I can fall behind and end up on a crack. With bricks it is too hard. The whole things is cracks. I don't know how long the current sidewalk has been there, but I remember at least 22 years of avoiding those cracks (or walking distinctly down them, or keeping up some pattern). Maybe I'm wrong. I think I can remember them at 5....
